Courtney Pratt Z People Personal Improvement
Fulton Hogan Courtney, in her own words, is a “personal improvement junkie” both at work and home. She reads widely and devours podcasts, and seeks regular feedback from above and below. Her training and development is primarily self-managed - Courtney sets her own professional development goals and checks in on them regularly. She records her training and development in the Engineers NZ portal to ensure she is meeting her annual PD hours. A member of Engineering NZ, she is working towards the chartership process, and I am sure she will undertake further tertiary education in due course.
Danny Wilson Z People Personal Improvement WINNER
Isaac Construction Danny has been employed with Isaac Construction since May 2017. Initially employed as a temporary operator through a recruitment agency, Danny came to us as a 30 year-old with good practical skills as an operator but few qualifications. Over the past five years, he has rapidly progressed. Following his appointment as a permanent employee, he quickly moved from operator to foreman, to surveyor, to site engineer, and into his current role as a project engineer. He is now a well-established member of our project management team and someone considered to have an ongoing career path in our business.
Tukiterangi Roberts Z People Personal Improvement
Smythe Contractors Tuki has been a solid hard worker since day one. Appreciating the opportunity to go to work but took the opportunity for his growth. He started in the pipe jacking team, which was hard manual labor. After a brief time, he understood how it works, how the machine is steered, and what is required around the site. He lived in Tauranga, and he first met us on an ongoing project there and looked for a change. When the job ended, we brought him back to Cambridge, where he quickly gained the respect of the rest of the SCL team. We have talked about culture; Tuki is the central hub of our culture. Tuki greets everyone in the morning with a Hug or a handshake, and no less.
